I find it funny that there is a movement on every side of the political spectrum against touching yourself.

On the left? It's more of a fetish type thing (chastity) but it's one of those lifestyle long-term fetishes that someone might notice at a party.

In the middle? No nut November, which started as a joke but has a very serious reddit presence.

On the right? no fap.

None of these 3 groups have any overlap with each other - yet they all agree that touching your dick (even if only temporarily like in November) is bad.

Always thought that this was very funny

I don't think nofap is on the right, it seems apolitical to me. It's more about abstaining from porn too.

I don't think no fap is right wingers- it's just people who think they are healthier not faping. I'm not saying they are right or wrong (For all I know it could be true for them but not for you?), but it's more like a fad diet than a political thing.

Someone has seriously made a business out of nerds talking about their penises? That's amazing.

Someone made a business out of nerds talking about how they think business works, and you're in it. Pretty amazing too.

Good point

Someone made a business helping people escape their porn addiction. It's no different than helping heroin addicts by "talking about their needles." You can't just deconstruct everything.

Literally continued scrolling through the thread, and found this comment after a your other one dismissing being an OnlyFans creator as not being a real job. I don't disagree with your point here, but the cognitive dissonance is deafening.

An interesting comment/backgrounder on that meme:

(The article is more interesting than the stereotypical headline suggests.)
